St. Luke Milestone Ale: A Captivating IPA Journey Epic Brewing Company's St. Luke Milestone Ale is a captivating American IPA that invites beer enthusiasts on a sensory adventure. This hazy, golden-amber ale boasts a fluffy, off-white head that persists, enticing the senses from the very first pour. The aroma is a complex symphony, with a harmonious blend of sweet malts, toasted biscuit crackers, and honey, complemented by the spicy, pine-like notes of the hops. Fruity esters add a delightful layer of citrus, apricot, and pear, creating a truly inviting and multifaceted bouquet. On the palate, the ale bursts with a melange of flavors, showcasing a malty backbone with biscuit-like hints of caramel and toffee. The assertive, yet balanced, hop bitterness delivers notes of grapefruit, pine, and pepper, while the fruity esters continue to dance across the tongue, offering a delightful interplay of citrus, apricot, and tropical fruits. Subtle nutty undertones of hazelnut and almond add depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is enhanced by a crisp, refreshing carbonation that accentuates the hop flavors. The ale finishes with a lingering bitterness and a slight dryness, leaving the palate primed for the next sip.
